The region's top amateur photographers showcase their work

The classic promenade architecture at Seaton Carew, by Steve Smith, of Stockton

Once again, weve selected a wonderful gallery of pictures submitted to North East Life by our talented regional amateur photographers.

Readers are continuing to upload fabulous photographs of the region to our website and we try to show a variety of the subjects and styles of work that is being undertaken.

The Gallery section of North East Life is one of our most popular regular features and we welcome the opportunity to display a selection of stunning pictures and to allow their creators to take a well-deserved bow in print.

We are most interested in pictures from within the counties of Northumberland, Tyne and Wear, County Durham and Cleveland. Readers whose pictures are selected will be asked to recognise our right to publish the pictures in North East Life at a date or dates to be decided by the co-editors. We also reserve the right to use photographs for North East Life promotional features.

The name of the photographer will be credited on all published pictures.
